How do you draw from an Urban Carry when you're holding a toddler?

Better question is how do you shoot a firearm holding a toddler? It is a bad situation period, but I want a way to have the gun on me throughout the day and the urban carry offers a method for that even while carrying a kid around. Not sure if it is a good method, but at least the gun stays hidden...
 
Having shot most of those choices I will vote for the P365 you didn't list. Basically G43 Size. Holds 11 Rounds (13 with optional mag) and is incredibly soft shooting for such a small pistol. It makes a LC9S/EC9S feel like it's a .40.

Seems to run $499.99 almost everywhere with 2 - 10 round mags (Sportsmans Outdoor Supercenter has them a little cheaper and throws in a free 12 round mag) and includes night sights.

P365 - Just make sure you get new production. Early ones had some teething problems. Other than some issues with a binding follower on one of three mags the first time it was loaded mine has been 100% but admittedly I've only got 200 rounds through it.
 
Nice choice on the Taurus. I have a 9mm version and it's a good shooter. The trigger is a little weird, but I got used to it. Mine has been accurate and reliable.

I put the 3" LCRx on there because I'm already looking at it for other reasons, and I also looked at a s&w airweight too. Want 5 rounds as a minimum, so the revolvers work fine, but I want to be able to deep conceal it, so size is an issue too, not just weight.

Also, forgot to add that I want a gun durable and large enough to train with, which is why I am ruling out a lot of the 380 autos. I don't want to be packing something I've only ran 10 rounds through. I wanna shoot it A LOT, which is why the 9mm is appealing...

Over thinking it? Can't you simply open your hand and allow whatever is in it to drop as you're reaching for your firearm?

Every body should own a LCR. Get it now. I want a LCRX as well. Also love the Smith for carry. And while you are at it, get the LCR22. Not only for training, but for shear fun.

I choose reliability over anything for EDC. Even though I don't own a Glock that's the proven manufacturer of the bunch, or as they say in China, 100,000,000 people can't be Wong.
 
Little update: the Taurus G2S is a pretty sweet little pistol, shot a few mags in the gravel pit, hornady critical defense and basig American eagle ball ammo. No feed issues even limp wristing a few shots. Hit a few inches low at 25 yards, but amazingly consistent, easy to adjust point of aim to hit where I wanted. A bit of recoil as expected, but no where near too much. Overall very pleasant to shoot, can't wait to train more with this gun.

Been carrying it in a Remora holster at about 4 o clock iwb, and it is about 50 times more comfortable than my CZ p-01. I still need a holster that attaches to a belt, but for now this works and hides away very well...
